Keep children and other persons at a distance
when using the machine. If you are distracted,
you could lose control of the tool.

Stay alert, know what you are doing and use
common sense when using the machine. Do
not work with machines when you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattentiveness when
using the tool could lead to serious injuries and
damage to the machine and the surrounding
area.
-
Remove all loose tools before switching on the
machine.

sure you are standing firmly and always

better able to control the machine during
unexpected situations.

hanging clothes or jewellery. Keep hairs,
clothes and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose-hanging clothes, long hair and jewellery

you should also familiarise yourself with local
working conditions and health and safety
rules.

of malfunctions during work!
